After reading the above item, L was
informed by a reputable citizen of this
county that Mr. Lamb told him that
the s'persOn way up in democratic cOun-
ellis, intimate with Register YOnge, and
apparently authorized TO speak, was
Hon Tully Scott, Receiver Of the Land
Office at Oberlin, and formerly my law
partner. On last Saturday 1 wrote to
Scott asking him 10 let me know what
had passed between him and Lamb re-
garding the publication of final proof
notices in this Land District, and the
following is his reply:
UNITED STATES LAND OFFICE,
Oberlin, kans., Sept. Attn, 1887.
NY DEAR IOSGE:-IOurs Of The 2ud at hand,
and desire 20 say that the article in the lndepen
dent can in no way refer 10 me. / have not seen
/ Mr.. q. j. Lamb, nor have / had any COrrespOn-
dence or communication with him upon any sub
D iegf lfFegLIW Indirectly since appoint
ed Register at IAlrWln or since learned That You
/ were u candidate for such Office. Neither have
offered or promised him any patronage at any
/ time as have never had any 10 promise myself
nor have been authorized by you or anybody else
70 make such offers OF promises and the indy
who makes a statement to the contrary is simply
a liar. Very Truly Yours,
Mr.. Lamb has never published
squarely that had made such an offer
/ to him, but by lnnuendO has endeavOr-
ed to impHcate me, by stating that
such proposition had been made by
nv authority. All such publications
and utterances are absolutely false.
/ have had no conversation with any one
/ in which they could inferentially imply
/ that ever intended to make such a pro
position, and every statement 10 the
contrary is absolutely false.
In addition I desire to say that l have
never attempted TO " corrupt" any
newspaper through the influence of
patronage from this Office, and the
| newspapers that have been publishing
proof notices in this land district are at
! liberty to publish all correspondence
and conversations relative to the same,
eminating from me. remain,
Very Respectfully,
IL. a. YONGE.
